Live: Thousands gather to memorialize woman killed by ICE agent...
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a woman in south Minneapolis during a morning confrontation between community members and federal officers on Jan. 7. The incident aggravated an already tense standoff between the Trump administration, as it cracks down on immigrants in Minnesota, and state and city leaders who demanded the federal government pull back. The mother of the woman who was killed identified her as Renee Nicole Good, 37, a Minneapolis resident. At a late afternoon news conference, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem characterized the incident as an act of domestic terrorism on the part of the driver, alleging she “weaponized” her vehicle against federal officers. Republican President Donald Trump, in a statement on the incident, said the driver “viciously ran over” the ICE officer, though several videos captured by bystanders do not support that claim. Several residents of the area who witnessed the scene said agents were ordering the woman out of the vehicle. A video showed agents around the vehicle as the driver reversed and then pulled forward. One agent appeared to fire multiple rounds into the car. The agent, who has not been identified, is seen walking away after firing the fatal shots. Noem said he was struck by the vehicle and then later treated and released from a local hospital. In a fiery news conference at City Hall, Mayor Jacob Frey called on ICE to “get the fuck out of Minneapolis.” Frey and Gov. Tim Walz, both Democrats, took issue with the administration’s version of what happened. They put out calls for calm, but also said Minnesotans have the right to peacefully demonstrate over what happened. “To the family, I’m so deeply sorry,” Frey said.
